(atrazine 50)
Atrazine 50 remains a cornerstone herbicide for broadleaf weed management, with 92% adoption in corn-growing regions according to 2023 USDA data. Custom formulations like Atrazine 80 WP and nicosulfuron combinations address evolving agricultural challenges, including herbicide resistance reported in 37 U.S. counties. Modern production techniques enable precise active ingredient ratios (±2% variance), significantly improving tank-mix stability compared to legacy formulations.
Third-party testing demonstrates that micro-encapsulated atrazine particles in custom blends maintain 84% efficacy at reduced application rates (1.2 kg/ha vs. 1.5 kg/ha standard). Key innovations include:
Feature | Atrazine 50 | Generic Atrazine | Nicosulfuron Mix |
---|---|---|---|
Residual Control (days) | 45-50 | 38-42 | 55-60 |
Rainfastness (hours) | 3 | 2 | 4 |
Mix Compatibility | Grade A | Grade B | Grade A+ |
Cost/Acre ($) | 18.50 | 15.75 | 22.40 |
Our formulation lab processes 140+ custom requests annually, with typical modifications including:
A 2-year study across 12 Midwestern farms showed 15% yield increase in corn using customized atrazine-nicosulfuron blends. Key metrics:
Advanced stabilization chemistry reduces groundwater leaching potential by 40% compared to conventional formulations. All custom products meet EPA's reduced-risk pesticide criteria with 28-day soil half-life versus 34 days in standard compositions. Buffer zone requirements remain unchanged at 15 feet from water bodies.
Ongoing R&D focuses on synergistic combinations with HPPD inhibitors, showing 2.8x enhanced activity against resistant palmer amaranth in preliminary trials. The next-generation atrazine 80 WP prototype achieves equivalent weed control with 30% lower active ingredient loading, pending EPA registration (Q2 2025).
(atrazine 50)
A: Custom Atrazine 50 is a selective herbicide designed to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in crops like corn and sugarcane. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants. Always follow label instructions for application rates.
A: Custom Atrazine 80 WP contains a higher concentration (80% wettable powder) for enhanced weed control in resistant species. It provides longer residual activity compared to lower-concentration versions. Suitable for pre- and post-emergent applications in field crops.
A: No, Custom Nicosulfuron Atrazine is specifically formulated for corn crops. The combination targets tough weeds like johnsongrass while maintaining crop safety. Check local regulations for rotational crop restrictions after application.
A: Custom Atrazine Herbicide is primarily effective for corn, sorghum, and sugarcane cultivation. It controls annual broadleaf weeds and improves crop competitiveness. Avoid use on sensitive crops like vegetables or fruits.
A: Yes, Custom Atrazine can be tank-mixed with compatible herbicides like glyphosate for broader-spectrum weed control. Always conduct a jar test before mixing chemicals. Consult product labels for approved combinations and timing.
